Apple cider is my favorite fall drink- there isn’t anything cozier. Trying to find a recipe online that didn’t require mashing my own apples, or buying 5 different spices at once was near impossible however.

Luckily, my local farmer’s market has plenty of apple farmers who do the mashing for you. With fresh apple cider, and the parred down essential spices, this recipe will be follow you through the season.  Bonus? Your whole house will smell amazing.

Spiced Apple Cider | serves 6
1 navel orange
1 T whole all spice berries
3 cinnamon sticks
1/2 gal fresh pressed apple cider

Using a vegetable peeler, strip your oranges into small peels. Then, load up your favorite tea strainer with the all spice berries.

Transfer your orange peels, tea strainer, cinnamon sticks & cider to a pot. Let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  If you want to make it spiked, remove from heat & add dark rum to taste.

Look twice; it’s no split image, it’s my one of my Look twice; it’s no split image, it’s my one of my favorite parts from the  #haileyhome condo. There Michael had his desk shoved in the corner of our small bedroom. As much as I wanted a light and airy feel, the desk always felt unintentionally “floaty”. With just paint and shelves, his desk went from an afterthought to a defined workspace with it’s own voice that felt distinct yet still a part of the room.

In our current house, I’m looking back at this project since next on my list will be Michael’s office! Michael inspired me with his 5 year anniversary gift to me (a nice furniture piece- he definitely knows me ☺️) so my gift to him will be wood shelves for his new office, plus a little space makeover. 

Excited to take on a small project while the kitchen reno is underway. It’ll feel nice to feel project progress somewhere and get hands on for the first time since Cade arrived ☺️

It’s worth the space it takes up though. Capturing his growth and personality feels like the greatest privilege. I can’t believe there were only 3 weeks between his newborn and 1 month photos 🥲

I’ll take any and all inducing tips 😅

I’ve been auditioning different rooms around the new house for my studio space. Some have great storage, some have better natural light, but NONE have over headlight lighting. I didn’t think much of it until I tried crafting after work and realized, dang, I really can’t see anything 😅. I tried to make it work with different table lamps, photography lighting, even grow lights (spoiler: do not attempt unless you like being blinded). It wasn’t great. I figured I’d eventually get a proper crafting light, but wasn’t thrilled with the limited, and frankly ugly, options. 

I bet you picked up on this from the photo, but I finally found THE solution. @cricut just released their Cricut Bright 360 task lamps and it’s everything I could have ever dreamed of! I’ve been putting this lamp through its paces for a few weeks with nesting DIYs and will have a full review on the blog soon!
